Research on Description Method of Operational Task Oriented to Operational Effectiveness Evaluation

Equipment of weapon is a critical factor which determines the result of information-age warfare. Operational effectiveness evaluation is an important step in equipment of weapon development and construction. In order to demonstrate the development scheme of equipment and weapon correctively and effectively, the measures of effectiveness need to be selected scientifically. Operational task is the standard factor of operational effectiveness. The concept of different types of effectiveness is given and analyzed firstly. The requirement of description of operational task is also analyzed at the same time. Then the measures of effectiveness hierarchy are put forward. Aiming to the concept and characteristic of operational effectiveness, a formalized description method is discussed. The description products of operational task are defined and specialized. Then the detailed description process is given. This is of some importance and realistic and theoretic meaning to make sure that the development of weapon and equipment is scientific and reasonable.
